If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro, stop searching and book with ClimbKili. Our experience from the very first enquiry through to standing on the roof of Africa was exceptional in every way and that is entirely down to the extraordinary team they put together for us.
At the heart of everything were our three guides: Veda (our head guide), Stephen, and John. Between them they brought a level of experience, calm authority and genuine warmth that made us feel completely safe and supported throughout. Kilimanjaro is a serious undertaking, and summit night in particular demands everything you have but with Veda, Stephen and John alongside us, we never felt anything other than capable and cared for. They were attentive to our individual needs, keeping our spirits high when it mattered most, and always keeping safety at the forefront without ever making us feel held back. Their singular focus was helping us achieve the dream of reaching Uhuru Peak and they delivered.
But the team extends so much further than the guides, and this is where ClimbKili really sets itself apart. Every single person, guides, porters, kitchen staff, was committed, cheerful and professional. Special mention must go to George, our wonderful waiter, who looked after us with such care and good humour at every meal and whose cheerful wake up calls each morning set us up perfectly for the day ahead. John, our camp manager, was flawless. Camp was always perfectly set up and ready when we arrived, no matter the conditions, and he was always on hand whenever we needed anything. And Six joined us on summit night as additional support, which was a welcome extra pair of hands during those final hours.
The food, the logistics, the pacing, the morale, everything was handled with such thoughtfulness and competence. We felt supported not just as a group but as individuals, and that made all the difference.
Summiting Kilimanjaro was one of the most profound experiences of our lives. ClimbKili made it possible, and they made it unforgettable. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
We got so lucky with great weather in early February on the 8 day Lemosho trek! This was a trip I was looking forward to for several months and I'm so glad I went with Climb Kili for both trekking up Kilimanjaro and for the 3 day safari (with flight) after! The 8 days on the mountain and starting at a higher elevation on summit night made that final day easier than I was anticipating and our whole group of 8 solo travelers made it to the summit as one.
Their level of attention to detail and planning made the entire trip that much better. Climb Kili's team had all of the logistics taken care of from the moment you arrived until departing. Having the smaller group size (especially compared to the other big name tour providers on the trail) was much nicer while out hiking each day and for the time together at the campsites.
I hope you get Herment as your lead guide! He looked out for everyone in the group and brought the prefect mix of experience, calm reassurance, laughs, and leadership to the group. The whole crew from the porters to the cook and the assistant guides made you feel welcome and looked after each day.

Meine Freunde und ich hatten die beste Zeit, den Kilimandscharo zu besteigen. Wir hatten diese Reise schon seit fünf Jahren geplant und Climb Kili hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Unsere Guides Veda, Denis und Six waren alle fantastisch und wir hätten ohne sie nicht an die Spitze kommen können. Veda war sehr ruhig und aufmerksam. Er hat immer nach Leuten gesucht, von denen er dachte, sie hätten zu kämpfen, und hat sichergestellt, dass es allen gut geht. Denis hat es toll gemacht, die Stimmung hoch zu halten. Seine scherzhafte Einstellung und Fähigkeit, die Gruppe zu ermutigen, wurde sehr geschätzt. Six war wirklich sympathisch und extrem sachkundig. Er brachte uns immer neue Swahili-Wörter bei und erzählte uns lustige Fakten. Besonderer Schrei auch an unseren Kellner George, denn er hat uns nicht nur jeden Morgen mit Kaffee und heißer Schokolade geweckt, sondern er kam auch mit uns zum Gipfel. Er gab uns heißen Tee direkt unterhalb von Stella Point und half einem der Leute in meiner Gruppe runterzukommen. Die gesamte Crew war auch super und man merkte, dass sie es wirklich genossen hat, uns an die Spitze zu helfen. Am liebsten sangen sie uns alle vor, als wir zurück ins Basislager kamen, und gaben uns dann alle Fauststöße dafür, dass wir es nach oben geschafft hatten. Insgesamt eine fantastische Erfahrung und ich würde Veda, Denis und Six als Guides sehr empfehlen! !
